## Requirements

You need to have eSpeak NG installed in your system and added to the path.

### Windows

The latest installers for eSpeak NG can be found [here](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases/latest).

The installed executable may need to be added to the system path.
([See here](https://www.howtogeek.com/118594/how-to-edit-your-system-path-for-easy-command-line-access/))

### Ubuntu & Debian

```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install espeak-ng
```

### Others

If eSpeak NG is not available in your package manager, you may need to compile
the binaries for your system. Refer to
[this page](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/building.md)
for more information.

## Installation

### PyPi

This library is available on [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/espeakng/).

```sh
pip install espeakng
```

### GitHub Releases

You can download the latest release for this library [here](https://github.com/sayak-brm/espeakng-python/releases/latest).

## Usage

First, we have to initialize a `Speaker`.

```python
import espeakng

mySpeaker = espeakng.Speaker()
```

And then use the `Speaker.say()` method to speak:

```python
mySpeaker.say('Hello, World!')
```

Calling `Speaker.say()` will interrupt any ongoing output from the same object
immediately.

Use the following code if you wish to wait for any ongoing speech to complete:

```python
mySpeaker.say('I am a demo of the say() method.', wait4prev=True)
```

---

### Changing speech properties

#### Pitch

By default the pitch is set at 80.

Change it by:

```python
mySpeaker.pitch = 120
```

#### Words per Minute (WPM)

By default WPM is set at 120.

Change it by:

```python
mySpeaker.wpm = 140
```

#### Voice

By default the voice is set to 'en'. The complete list of supported voices can
be found
[here](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/languages.md).

Change it by:

```python
mySpeaker.voice = 'es'
```

#### Export to .WAV file

By default, your text will just be spoken aloud, but if you want it to be written to a .WAV file, you can specify an `export_path` when calling the `say` function, as seen below:

```python
mySpeaker.say("Export this to a file", export_path="test.wav")
```

## Special thanks

- [MickeyDelp](https://github.com/MickeyDelp) for wordgap and amplitude controls, and other helper methods.
- [FlorianEagox](https://github.com/FlorianEagox) for the export to WAV file feature.
